President Barack Obama urged students to get serious this year in an address televised to schools across the country.

"I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do," Obama said in his 10-minute address. "So don't let us down — don't let your family down or your country down or most of all, yourself, down."

Obama told the students that good careers require hard work in school.

"You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job," he said. "You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it."
